Original Post----------------This is a map designed for 8 players about the European Colonization of the Americas. This is not true to our reality of events but close, players are welcome to write their own history playing the map. Please be willing to pardon our huge middle finger to our actual history.

It is designed by gimil and I together. I came up with the concept and borrowed his Fuedal Wars gameplay somewhat. Then we worked on gameplay together and with the image (I only did early drafts) to bring you this:

This map features 5 European Nations and 4 Native Nations. It will be like Feudal Wars where you start with one territory that auto-deploys 5 and work out. The natives have more land and faster access to it, but Europeans have an extra auto deploy in their landing zones.

The ports were added as extra mobility to avoid the Spanish and the Aztecs from getting crushed in a bottle neck.

I want to tell you come stuff quick.

1. The Iroquois where never where they are in the map, it was "Louisiana" and "New Spain"(along with central America).

2. You should just change the Iroquois and the French.

3. "Mapushes" was Inca on the west side and Spanish, French and The Dutch on the east.

4. Where the Aztec are there on your map was Aztec in the north and the Maya in the south.

Hope that helps, if you need anymore info on this let me know, i know all about the "New World".

1) Read that part of what you quoted again.

2) Read that part of what you quoted again.

3) wrong spelling and read what I wrote again. They were not Inca, they lived in Argentina/Chile and fended off Spain for about 350 years. They were much more effective then the Inca, if not as well remembered. Oh, and read that part of what you quoted again.

4) The Aztec ate the Maya, they went well with Ketchup. Also read that part of what you quoted again.

If this isn't clear enough. I picked Natives based on rough starting location of where they were in our history. We then warped this severely to suit our game play. If this offends you then you can make a barely playable version that is closer to our actual history yourself.

it is a great idea, but i agree that some of your facts are off...i.e. aztec are furhter south than that, "MAPUCHES," are actually a group of indigenous people from paraguay that relocated to southern argentina (patagonia essentially) because of the saramiento racial cleansings, so, not really applicable. i think it would be good if you just had the imperial nations, and include russia as an extra one, because they did have northwestern territories at the presumed point of early to mid sixteenth century i'm believe you are aiming at. just lose all the native empires and stick with six empires starting, and have the respective western territories neutral for the conquering

I dont see why streching europe slightly would be a problem. if i wasnt to strech it slightly the box would have different dimensions and would sit as nicely on the map.

Were not basing our map on historical accuracy, please read the full thread properly before making such comments.

Escept it just looks a bit wrong... There's some empty space beneath Spain, so you could 'stretch' it down a bit to look more normal, and still take up the same amount of space overall.

Right and they did it to trick the other tribes into joining their 'republic' and send them to 'cure' camps where they were gassed to death so that the Iroquois could take the entire west part of the continent.

yep, and then hitler was born and came in and saved the day, and everybody thanked him and then he got shot while out hunting with The United States of Canada vice president Cheney
